Of course, from what I understand those tournaments will be played on Blizzard operated local servers, so might just stick with the current patch. | ||

That's all I ask. :[ Wasn't it always only on units with projectiles/shot delay (in particular, Tanks having shot delay in SC1)? Maybe I just didn't notice marine/hydralisk overkill. | ||

Theyre the most different race mechanic wise, and werent playable in single player. I can see tons of new, non hardcore players just being confused and want to stick with something close to what they learned in tutorials/campaign. Even if the game is 100% balanced, I'd expect zerg to be less represented from the casual factor alone. Anyway, not doubting their sincerity, but this is a standard blizzard response and doesnt really tell us anything new. You can pretty much assume this stance on everything going forward. The more rare/notable cases are when they go "nope, you guys are wrong, not gonna fix/look at it!" i think not only that but so many new players talk to the good players or read forums and come to the conclusion zerg is crap and then they all jump on the band wagon. hence only 26% representation. notice how in the lower leagues all the terrans are sucking really really bad? because they are most likely the players who are new to sc2, suck, or are just doing flavor of the month! haha! good to hear blizzard is at least aware of the problem. i hope when they do make some changes rather then balance it... they make zerg a little more interesting to play. more options. i dont know how many times in beta i QQ'd on threads trying to get blizzard to add another unit to the zerg tech tree. and look where they are now.. 26% representation!! zerg was my favorite race in bw's. now i play diamond random. but would much rather be playing zerg only! maybe after an expansion or some COOL changes i'll go back. i miss kerrigan being evil too... wtf. hydra speed is gay off creep. whoevers idea that was is a ritard | ||

Finding good solution(s) in a balance equation like this is not easy, i actually expect them to fuck up something, but they will get it right, eventually. | ||

I remember blizzard saying that they were going to fix zerg with some amazing stuff and then the patch when they give Frenzy to infestors to try to fix zergs (because they were aware that zerg were boring), huge fail the spell was pretty awfull they've removed it and did nothing else to fix zergs... I really can't feel like blizzard is going to do anything in the good direction to fix the balance either but we will see... | ||

What are they doing that the Euros are missing, who have 1 Zerg in top 10 lol probably baneling busts. most of the zergs that are complaining (like idra) are ones who prefer late-game zerg but can't get there due to how strong reaper rushes and bunker rushes are. no top zerg wants any change besides slower-building barracks/bunkers, right now early reapers or bunker rushes are like the original 4-pool, they just come too fast to stop. | ||

But while players like IdrA, despite all the BM qq, stick to the race that is definitely more challenging to play, others go from random to the flavor of the month because it "gives them more options" (might as well say straight up it's the easiest to play). IdrA is an inspiration for people who struggle with Zerg, TLO is a letdown in general because he goes from very interesting creative random player to particularly good at lolterran abuse. Doesn't take away from their skills. Just character wise, I'll take IdrA and his BM Zerg over TLO's "lol I can abuse hellions and then make a quick starport and viking harass cuz I play T". This is the dumbest thing I've heard today. If Terran was your best race, and gets you the best results in your practice matches, why would you still use zerg? To lose? It may surprise you, but people play games (and tournaments) to win, not for the challenge of playing. | ||

Watched a lot of Check's games recently on HD's channel, He's very aggressive with Zerg from one base and seems to be successful. Euro's and American players seem to favour expanding early where the Korean's seem to just go on constant attack from the go.. or at least that's what it's seemed in the vids i've watched recently. | ||

Of course, if it works better for him, it makes sense for him to pick Terran. It's just completely uninteresting to watch supercharged terran cheese game after game, with more and more TvT mirrors in pretty much each event I've followed lately. Also, unless you're significantly better with Terran, I'm not sure it's strategically the best option to go with the flavor of the month, because in the long run when T gets nerfed or others get buffed, you might have a harder time adjusting after relying on the easyterran crutch for a while. Whereas if Z ever gets help in ZvT, a player like IdrA will only become scarier. TLDR version: playing the easymode race might bite you in the ass when a good balance patch finally happens. | ||
